Crossing the Finish Line! Governor signs ESSB 2662: Capping out-of-pocket cost of insulin + Total Cost of Insulin Work Group

We were so excited to see Governor Inslee sign another law today based on a HCFA-WA proposal. ESSB 2662 relieves diabetics in our state from the skyrocketing cost of insulin.

Our agenda is aggressive and we work relentlessly throughout the year. As we navigate the COVID-19 crisis, we ask for your urgent support as we work to ensure everyone has access to care.

Your contribution, either one-time or a recurring monthly donation, will allow us to do so much more.

Thank you for your support!
